I used following code, it working fine on IE and Mozila on desktop but not on mobile browser.

How can i create this.

I am using XHTML..

Overflow-scroll boxes are not supported. However, you can use an iframe or something to achieve a similar effect.

the HTML element < iframe > cannot be read by a Blackberry Browser if the OS version is 4.5 or lower. For 4.6 and higher, I don't know.

Iframes do work in 4.6+. At least basic ones do. Try this:

<iframe style="border: none; width: 50px; height: 50px;" src="data:text/html,Scrollable Text....."></iframe>

If you have more content inside the box you'll probably want to break it out into a separate page and point the src attribute there. Also I would suggest re-thinking what you're trying to do since scrollboxes like this are generally not good for usability.
